Chapter 451 In the court, there was no noise about politics in the past, but there was silence for a while. The First Emperor sat on the throne and did not speak, but quietly watched the ministers.

When the ministers found out that Li Si was not there, they all wanted to scold their mother. Li Si is usually here, why is he not here today?

Is it related to the clan? When Li Si was there, in the face of this situation, Li Si would be the first to stand up and speak.

Even if Li Si didn't speak, the emperor would be the first to call Li Si. This situation made the hearts of the ministers feel like a boulder, which is particularly uncomfortable.

A eunuch suddenly ran in and saluted, "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister has returned." ”

"Come in." The First Emperor said lightly.

"No!" Prime Minister Li Si soon entered the main hall, and before he could salute, the First Emperor asked, "Win Xi?" Li Si immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Please also ask Your Majesty to condemn the crime!" After the minister arrived at the clan, he found that Lord Ying Xi had hanged himself in the ancestral hall of the clan. The First Emperor trembled suddenly, could it be that Ying Xi also participated, and committed suicide knowing that he was defeated?

At this time, Li Si took out a letter and said, "Your Majesty, this is a letter left by Lord Yingxi. ”

"Bring it!" The First Emperor's tone became very heavy. After opening the letter, the First Emperor saw the last words left by Ying Xi: The clan is corrupt and does not want to forge ahead, but it is blamed on His Majesty's suppression of the clan.

The minister knew very well that His Majesty seemed to suppress the clan, but in fact he whipped the clan, but the clan had long been rotten, like a moth on the pillars of the Great Qin.

The ministers tried their best to watch over the clan, but it was not as sinister as the hearts of the people. The clan is hopeless, and the minister is speechless to face His Majesty.

The minister knows that what the clan has done today is really a big rebellion, but the minister also hopes that His Majesty can see the bloodline of the Ying clan at the same time, and can forgive the wife and children of the clan, and Ying Xi has thanked His Majesty here!

Win the ridicule. After reading it, the First Emperor took a deep breath, put the letter on the desk, and said to Li Si: "Get up, Ying Xi's death has nothing to do with you." ”

"Your Majesty, what happened last night?" Yao Jia couldn't help it, and stood up and asked what happened last night.

The First Emperor stood up, slowly stepped down from the throne, looked at his ministers and said, "Do any of you want me to abdicate?" All the ministers knelt on the ground at once, and shouted in unison: "The ministers don't dare to die!" ”

"Then who thinks I'm not a good emperor?"

"Your Majesty rules the world, and you can cover the three emperors and five emperors! It is the first emperor of the ages! Yao Jia knelt on the ground and hurriedly shouted.

The First Emperor stood in front of the hundred officials and said lightly: "But just last night, the clan felt that I was not good as the emperor, and led more than 2,000 sect disciples, armed with swords and soldiers, to force me to abdicate, do you know?" "The hundred officials knelt on the ground, not daring to speak at all, the clan is the emperor's own family, and the matter between the clan and the emperor is the emperor's own family affair after all.

The First Emperor walked back and forth as he said, "I know that some of you really don't know about last night. But! Some not only know what happened last night, but are even waiting for the clan to take power and reward him! Right! Among the hundreds of officials, a few people suddenly trembled with fright.

The First Emperor said lightly: "Since the establishment of the Supervision Department, the results of the Supervision Department have been simply terrible. ”

"It has been suggested that I abolish the Inspectorate, saying that the Inspectorate is wasting money from the treasury. I'm here to tell you today! The Supervision Department is my eyes, and all the dirty things you have done have been reported to me! I just didn't let you know! ”

"I have known about the involvement of the clan and some officials for a long time. Only"

"It's just that I think that you and I have a courtier, and I give you time to hint to you that you can turn back in time."

"Moreover, after all, the clan and I have the same blood flowing in their bodies, and I also hope that the clan will turn back. In this way, the clan and I, and I and you, will be better. ”

"What a pity! Pity! Last night, the clan still did it! Some people even can't sleep at home all night, waiting for news from the palace. I saw it today, I ask you! Don't panic! The First Emperor lowered his head, walked back to the throne, raised his head to look at the hundred officials, and said, "I know why you betrayed me. Because I have harmed your interests, but I have no regrets! Even if you all betray me, I will still do it. ”

"Compared with the people of the world, you people who only care about your own interests are not worthy of this court!"

"Someone!" The First Emperor's voice just fell. The Praetorian Guards rushed into the hall and took down some of the kneeling ministers directly.

"Your Majesty spares your life! Your Majesty spares your life! "A total of thirteen ministers, now caught, are constantly begging for mercy in the hands of the Praetorian Guard.

However, the First Emperor only waved his hand and asked the Praetorian Guard to take these down. The rest of the hundred officials were also silent, and they didn't dare to gasp for breath when they knelt on the ground one by one.

The First Emperor sat back in his seat and said coldly, "Get up." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty Long live! Great Qin 10,000 years! The rest of the officials stood up at this time, but some of them were timid, and they were really trembling at this time.

"The unclean things in the court have been cleaned up today. I don't want you to be stained by mud in the future, I don't want your blood to be sprinkled outside here! ”

"Your Majesty! For Daqin! After all, with all your might, it is not enough to be clean with the filth of the world! Li Si stood up and said loudly, and then the hundred officials also responded.

Half an hour later, the hundred officials finally came out of the hall one after another, and some of them even had to support each other, obviously frightened.

When these officials came out, they were shocked to find that the officials who were dragged out by the forbidden army were actually killed outside the main hall, and the heads and corpses were carried on both sides of the road, as if to warn the officials.

There were a few officials who almost fell down when their legs were weak, but fortunately, the people next to them hurriedly grabbed them. Yao Jia and Xiao He stood beside Li Si, and Yao Jia asked, "Prime Minister, it seems that you were in the palace last night, and the situation last night must have been very exciting." Li Si and Xiao He looked at Yao Jia with some surprise, they really didn't expect Yao Jia to say such a thing, no one was afraid that it was too late, he actually said wonderful.

Li Si, who understood Yao Jia's temper, smiled bitterly: "I should have pulled you in yesterday and felt the exciting scene, it was almost exciting." ”

"Don't don't, don't be, don't be, it can be seen from Your Majesty's anger today, this matter can't be mentioned again in the future." Yao Jia hurriedly shook his head and said.

Xiao He said at this time: "Prime Minister, now that Your Majesty has killed the flesh, the hearts of the hundred officials must be panicked, if they are not appeased in time, I am afraid that there will be many people who want to resign and return to their hometowns." Li Si smiled: "Isn't this right? Next year, His Majesty is going to hold the imperial examination that His Highness said, and then it is indeed time for some officials to give up their positions to more capable people. Xiao He was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Xiaguan understands, Your Majesty is really far-sighted!" Li Si pulled up the two of them and said with a smile: "Let's go, the three of us will go to have a few drinks today to suppress the shock." The two of you don't know that you almost scared the old man to death last night. ”
